To get this semester started off on the right foot, every Fashionisto/a should start by creating a good first impression with your new professors. If you go to a big university, you understand that each professor sees an insane amount of students each semester, either in class or at office hours. With that being said, it is important to create a lasting impression very early, and what better way to do that than to go the extra mile and wear something nice?

This Fashionisto is wearing an outfit that is dressy enough for a meeting with a professor, yet casual enough to wear to class. The blazer and straight-legged chinos are polished for a business look, but the non-collared button-up tones the entire outfit down enough to where this Fashionisto can wear this look to class and still be comfortable. This outfit stands out with the dark winter tones of hunter green, navy blue, gray and brown.

Now many men have problems with the “man bag,” thinking that it is too girly to wear. This Fashionisto took the “man bag” to a whole new level: classy. Calvin Klein screams classy, and using a bag like this to hold your books will refine almost any outfit that you wear.

One Simple Change: If you are wearing a collared shirt under the blazer, add a tie or a bowtie such as this one from Urban Outfitters to spruce it up and formalize it for a nice dinner or a presentation. One small knot will change your outfit from day to night.
